In Seed's first exclusive short film, science communicator Alom Shaha travels underground and behind the scenes to probe the cavernous Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

His tour offers a glimpse into the exciting preparations afoot as the accelerator is pieced together. The film also asks whether this project is worth all the time, money and effort. Featuring interviews with physicists Brian Cox (University of Manchester), Jon Butterworth (University College London) and Albert de Roeck (Antwerp University), Lords of the Ring explains why so many scientists are pinning their hopes on this experiment's potential to answer some of the biggest questions in science.
